Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4-(3-methoxypropylamino)-3-nitroquinoline (14.6 g; 0.056 mol, Example 41) was added to a mixture of ethyl acetate (1300 mL), 5% platinum on carbon (1.0 g), and magnesium sulfate (5.0 g). The mixture was hydrogenated on a Parr apparatus at an initial hydrogen pressure of 30 psi. When the hydrogenation was complete, the solids were removed and the ethyl acetate was evaporated. The residual intermediate diamine was mixed with ethoxyacetic acid (60 mL) and heated at 120° C. for about 8 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, poured into water, made basic with 6N sodium hydroxide and then extracted with ether (5×100 mL). The ether extracts were combined, dried with magnesium sulfate, then evaporated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (20% methanol in ethyl acetate as eluent) to give 13.3 g of a green oil. This material was used in subsequent reactions.
